Author: William H. Havergal Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: To praise our Shepherd’s care Lyrics: 1 To praise our Shepherd’s care, His wisdom, love, and might, Your loudest, loftiest songs prepare, And bid the world unite. 2 Supremely good and great, He tends His blood-bought fold; He stoops, though throned in highest state, The feeblest to uphold. 3 He hears their softest plaint; He sees them when they roam; And if His meanest lamb should faint, His bosom bears it home. 4 Kind Shepherd of the sheep! A weary flock are we; And snares and foes are nigh; but keep The lambs who look to Thee. 5 And if through death’s dark vale Our feet should early tread, Oh, may we reach Thy fold, and hail The love which us hath led!

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 122 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And let our bodies part, To different climes repair; Inseparably joined in heart The friends of Jesus are. 2 O let us still proceed In Jesus’ work below; And, following our triumphant Head, To further conquests go! 3 The vineyard of the Lord Before His laborers lies; And lo! we see the vast reward Which waits us in the skies. 4 O let our heart and mind Continually ascend, That haven of repose to find, Where all our labors end. 5 When all our toils are o’er, Our suffering the our pain! Who meet on that eternal shore Shall never part again. AMEN. Topics: Closing and Vesper Hymns Used With Tune: OLMUTZ
